Visited today for first time young lady behind the bar was lovely. Ordered 2 Sunday lunches of beef. My husband asked do you have horse radish no problem at all we do. When food arrived staff then said sorry we do not have any was used up yesterday at wedding. We let that go as can happen but the meat was awful not sure how this had been cooked but not a roast. Not able to cut it or chew it full of fat worse meat I have had. Not what I would call a Sunday lunch. We are not ones to complain but in all honestly whole meal except roast potatoes and Yorkshire wish I had gone home and cooked. We did complain and young lady behind bar kept apologising. It was not her fault as I kept telling her. Manager was not very accommodating but had few sarcastic comments on us leaving. Sad but defo will not recommend or return.

My partner and I went for Sunday lunch, one word, ‘Wow”, the best Sunday roast I’ve had in a long time, everything was freshly cooked and tasted amazing, the staff were really friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended we will definitely be back, can’t wait

Stayed in one of the rooms. Worst place Ive ever stayed in my life. Dirty, shower doesnt work, window has no handle & cant be closed. Junk & rubbish lying around everywhere. Feels like you are staying at a crack house. Better to sleep in the car. They charged me £120 for 2 nights up front. You cant contact them because the phone number is wrong.
Didnt go to the pub so cant comment on that. Rooms are the very worst.
